This helps your project to stay on time and within budget while keeping you abreast of all the important information without any insignificant details. 

What outdoor renovation ideas are currently popular in North Sydney and Hornsby?

Since many North Sydney properties are high-density buildings, it’s common to see balconies, rooftops, and terraces as outdoor spaces to relax and unwind. Planter boxes are ideal to optimise compact layouts, artificial turf helps create low-maintenance urban landscapes, while outdoor bar set ups allow for entertainment without taking up the space of expansive outdoor dining tables. 
Heading north to Hornsby, there’s a little more area to work with. Hornsby homeowners with a swimming pool may want to update their pool area. Resurfacing the surrounding patio, upgrading fencing, and creating adjacent splash-free seating zones are simple ways to give the hardscaping, and your backyard, a new look.
